Fun Facts!

● The House of IL was done in 2007 as a 10th anniversary special for a company called Intralinks. The comics themselves were published by Archaia Studios Press Industrial.

● The three issues were free to all IL employees but were never available for sale to the public.

● While diverting me from Runners for the better part of a year, I still enjoyed the project greatly as it let me get my Lord of the Rings on with a fun fantasy/adventurer story.

● The six main characters were a lot of fun to design as I tried to make each person's armor reflect a different historical/ ethnic style (from Roman to Samurai to Mongol) to make them all visibly unique. I wanted each armor type to be differentiated enough that you could tell who was who even by just an extreme close-up swatch of armor. So no two are alike (excelpt Filimus and Ferrilyn, since they're siblings).

The Alliance of Six, a band of adventurers from The House of IL, are assigned to protect The Client and his precious data while transporting both to an awaiting Buyer. But many obstacles are waiting to separate the Client from his guides.

During his course of their adventure, the Client's faith will be tested, as will the mettle of the Alliance, who must face off against a giant wolf Harbinger, an imposing Chasm, a treacherous mountain pass, and the evil and all-powerful Warlord himself!
